Why does the first S_N1 reaction have two products (excluding HCl) and the second S_N1 reaction only has one product (excluding HI)?

The alkyl halide undergoing the above nucleophilic substitution is \( 3^{\circ} \) and hence, \( \mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 1 \) mechanism is observed. The product of the above nucleophilic substitution is: Planar carbocation A The alkyl halide is \( 3^{\circ} \) and hence the nucleophilic substitution follows \( \mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 1 \) mechanism. c. The alkyl halide is \( 3^{\circ} \). So, it undergoes nucleophilic substitution by \( \mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 1 \) mechanism with a weak nucleophile \( \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{OH} \). There is not stereogenic centre due to presence of two similar methyl groups around the carbon atom where the substitution is taking place.
